Update on drugs for hyperactivity in childhood
Relevant BNF section: 4.4
In 2001, we concluded that methylphenidate or dexamfetamine can be useful adjunctive therapy for children with severe hyperactivity in whom non-drug approaches alone have been inadequate.1 Since then, 
atomoxetine (pronounced a-toe-moks-e-teen; Strattera – Lilly) and three modified-release formulations of methylphenidate have been launched for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Here we reconsider drugs for ADHD in childhood, focusing on the newer products.
